Invincible Starting From the Nine Dragons Technique
Chapter 257: Enemies on a Narrow Road"Enemies always cross paths?"
Hearing Xiao Lang’s words, it dawned on Shi Lei. He stopped paying the newcomers any mind and went back to comfortably soaking in his bath.
’With Xiao Lang here, what the hell is there to be afraid of!’
Shi Lei shouted to his companions, "Brothers, keep soaking! Brother Lang, want me to scrub your back for you?"
"Scrub my back?"
Xiao Lang replied disdainfully, "Are you any good at it? If you suck, don’t even bother."
Shi Lei laughed. "Don’t worry, I’m great at it. A back scrub from me feels even better than one from a woman. Give it a try if you don’t believe me."
"Shi Lei, did your father never teach you not to use foul language in front of a lady?"
Bai Luoxue said coldly.
Shi Lei laughed sheepishly. "My apologies, Fairy Bai, I got carried away. So, uh... do you need someone to scrub your back?"
"Get lost!"
Bai Luoxue said coldly.
’She was a fairy, pure as ice and jade. How could she possibly let a filthy man scrub her back?’
Seeing this, the expressions of the Celestial Tiger Sect disciples darkened.
Dammit!
’They were actually being ignored!’
The Fourth Tiger, Huang Qian, strode forward fuming. "Shi Lei, you son of a bitch, get your ass out here! I want to trade a few blows with you."
"Trade blows, my ass!"
Shi Lei shot back, "Are you a moron? Things are perfectly fine, so why the hell should I fight you? Because you look like a damn lapdog? Kid, let me tell you something. The Martial Arts World isn’t just about fighting and killing; it’s about navigating social relationships. Get it?"
"You dare curse me?"
His face contorted with fury, Huang Qian slammed his fist into the Dan Immortal Pool, sending a massive spray of water into the air.
BOOM!
The punch landed squarely beside Shi Lei.
Shi Lei roared, "Huang Qian, are you out of your goddamn mind? Don’t take things too far!"
"I *am* taking it too far! So what?"
Huang Qian sneered.
He had come here today specifically to pick a fight and avenge Ye Chuan and Mu Hong.
"You..."
Just as Shi Lei was about to stand up, Liu Wuxie held him down. "Senior Brother, you’re no match for him. Just focus on scrubbing Brother Lang’s back. I’ll handle this for you."
’On this trip to the Demon Venerable Burial Ground, aside from that one fight with Mu Hong, I’ve mostly stayed on the sidelines. It’s about time I showed my true strength and bared my fangs.’
"Alright!"
Shi Lei gritted his teeth and sat back down.
’He was a genius, too, but he was no match for the Celestial Gate Five Tigers.’
’Better to let Liu Wuxie handle it.’
’He’s a much safer bet!’
Xiao Lang said, "Liu Wuxie, go up there and kill that bastard. If anything happens, I, Xiao Lang, will take the heat."
Liu Wuxie nodded, got dressed, and walked up to face Huang Qian.
"So, you’re Liu Wuxie?"
Huang Qian looked at Liu Wuxie with contempt. "I heard your Profound Celestial Sect was wiped out a few days ago. As the sole survivor, you still dare to show your face?"
"Sole survivor?"
Liu Wuxie flew into a rage.
’This bastard. He’s deliberately rubbing salt in the wound.’
’So infuriating!’
Liu Wuxie said coldly, "Huang Qian, let me be straight with you. Your Celestial Tiger Sect isn’t far from being annihilated either. But before that happens, I’m going to teach you a harsh lesson."
’Having offended Su Mo, the Celestial Tiger Sect is doomed to suffer the consequences.’
’It’s only a matter of time before they’re annihilated.’
However, Liu Wuxie had no intention of enduring it. The more you tolerated bastards like these, the more arrogant they became. He had to strike back hard.
"Enough talk. Make your move!"
Liu Wuxie said flatly.
Huang Qian said coldly, "Cursing my Celestial Tiger Sect to be annihilated, are you? Hmph! Watch me tear that mouth of yours right off your face! Celestial Tiger Claw!"
SHIIING!
Huang Qian formed his hand into a claw. His fingertips glinted with a cold light as they condensed into a sharp tiger’s claw, which he then slashed toward Liu Wuxie.
BAM!
Liu Wuxie threw a heavy punch to meet the attack. As they collided, five bloody claw marks were gouged into the back of his fist.
Staggering back,
Huang Qian was knocked back several steps, but he immediately lunged forward again, locking into a fierce struggle with Liu Wuxie. The longer they fought, the more ferocious he became.
Liu Wuxie’s expression grew grim.
’Huang Qian is the Fourth Tiger of the Celestial Gate Five Tigers. Logically, he should be weaker than Mu Hong, yet now he’s able to fight me to a standstill.’
"Did you really think I’m the same man I was before the Demon Venerable Burial Ground opened?"
Huang Qian asked with a sneer.
Before the Demon Venerable Burial Ground had opened, he was indeed weaker than Mu Hong. But since then, he had found numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and his power had soared.
BOOM!
Liu Wuxie was blasted several meters back by Huang Qian. He spat out a mouthful of blood and cried in alarm, "You... Fine! I admit I’m not your match."
With that, Liu Wuxie turned to leave.
’If this continues, I won’t just fail to gain an advantage; I’ll be even more brutally humiliated by Huang Qian.’
"Trying to leave?"
A cold glint flashed in Huang Qian’s eyes as he viciously slammed his Celestial Tiger Claw into Liu Wuxie’s back.
RRRIP!
The Celestial Tiger Claw tore five deep, bloody gashes across Liu Wuxie’s back, so deep that his very spine was exposed.
SPURT! SPURT! SPURT!
Liu Wuxie coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale.
This scene enraged everyone watching.
Shi Lei rushed forward to support Liu Wuxie, staring daggers at Huang Qian. "You son of a bitch! You have no honor, attacking someone from behind!"
"A sneak attack?"
Huang Qian sneered. "Heh, I just wanted to teach him a lesson, to make sure he remembers his place and doesn’t look down on everyone."
"I’ll fight you!"
"Me too!"
A disciple from the Hua Celestial Sect and Bai Luoxue leaped out of the Dan Immortal Pool, staring coldly at Huang Qian.
Huang Qian said dismissively, "The two of you? Heh. You really think you’re stronger than Liu Wuxie? Don’t make fools of yourselves."
The expressions of the Hua Celestial Sect disciple and Bai Luoxue darkened.
Although they were both considered top-tier geniuses in the Northern Profound Domain, they were still a notch below Liu Wuxie, meaning they were no match for Huang Qian either.
But if they didn’t fight...
Huang Qian waved his hand as if shooing away flies. "Get lost. Call out that brat surnamed Su. I’ve sworn an oath to kill him."
"Elder Su isn’t here!"
Shi Lei said with a grim face.
"Not here? Heh, I’d say he doesn’t dare to show his face."
"Isn’t he supposed to be so arrogant?"
"Arrogant my ass! Now that he’s up against our Senior Brother Huang Qian, all he can do is hide like a coward with his tail between his legs."
The men from the Celestial Tiger Sect roared with unbridled laughter.
Liu Wuxie coughed. "Cough, cough... If Elder Su were here, forget about a little punk like you—even the founding ancestor of your Celestial Tiger Sect wouldn’t dare act so arrogantly."
"Stop spouting such shameless nonsense."
Huang Qian scoffed, "If you’ve got the guts, then call him out. I’ll beat him to the ground and make him bark like a dog right in front of all of you."
He had only heard that Su Mo had killed Mu Hong and Ye Chuan. He had no idea that Su Mo had also slapped two of their Elders to death and even destroyed a clone of their Sect Leader.
Even if he had known, he wouldn’t have believed it.
WHOOSH!
The moment Huang Qian finished his arrogant threat, all of the Xiao Family disciples stood up in the Dan Immortal Pool and menacingly surrounded him.
They’d had enough of his attitude for a while now.
Hm?
Seeing a hundred Xiao Family disciples standing before him, Huang Qian raised an eyebrow. "What’s this? Are all of you surnamed Su?"
"Our surname is Xiao!" the Xiao Family disciples shouted in unison.
Huang Qian scoffed. "Xiao? Just a bunch of worthless scrubs. Crawl back to your mothers’ wombs and don’t come out here to embarrass yourselves. The one I’m looking for is Su Mo."
"The Su Mo you’re looking for is our Young Master," Xiao Lang stated icily.
Huang Qian was taken aback. "Someone surnamed Su is your Young Master? What kind of joke is that? You’re all from the same family but don’t even share a surname?"
